Time Drops #76: Week of October 27, 2024

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. the Ticketmaster

Welcome to the week to come, Ticketholders!
Despite repeating myself about not wanting to repeat myself, not much of the intro here will change. Just know that the date went better than expected, Daima is good but slow, the Goosebumps movies are okay (more elaboration on Thursday), and the analytics are back to normal.
Work was slow and very trying and tiring, the winter cuts are beginning, the committee of legally distinct Inside Out-inspired Variants of myself that turn the reels of self-defeatist dialogue in my head are still hard at work, and I'm still the only one writing, editing, and promoting this supposedly outdated, not for profit hobby of mine at almost midnight because I "closed my eyes for a minute."
That said, I'm keeping up pretty well. With the second biggest hurdle behind me (the 1995 Goosebumps show) and the biggest personal challenge ahead of me (besides driving, clearing my debt, and going to work every day at what seems to be my only available job prospect), I've finished watching both Goosebumps movies and begun writing the review. I've already started on my huge Anime-BAWklog, and as you will see below, I've decided to start reviewing Dragon Ball Daima on a weekly basis the Monday after each episode drops.
I have the first part of my new Dragon Blog Z What If finished and scheduled for release next April, with a second concept kicking around in my brain, and my other projects still floating in the pipeline, including a work of original fiction, a Natsume's Book Of Friends Anime Spotlight update (which I'm also pushing back to next year because the sixth season dub just dropped all at once and I'll need to watch it before I do the update), and two One Piece Multi-Piece entries now that I've finally finished the Fishman Island arc of One Piece. Expect me to have things to say about it...eventually. Also, I've decided to hold off on the RWBY comics until next year as well because I've done enough to myself this month, and I've let my hunt for a second job lapse longer than I should.

As usual, I will keep up the year-in-content list at the end of these posts going forward, in addition to these weekly announcements. So please read beyond the weekly content calendar for more information on the year to come, and remember to comment at the bottom of this post, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't already, help out my ad revenue as you read, and follow me on social media at the links below to like what you see and to receive the latest news on my content and calendars thereof.
Here it is, with a more long-term focus because keeping goals Timely is part of being SMART:
  • Monday (October 28) - Dragon Blog Daima #22: Daima
  • Wednesday (October 30) - GFT Retrospective #80: Grimm Fairy Tales Christmas & Halloween (2011)
  • Thursday (Halloween) - Just the Ticket #161: Goosebumps Double-Feature
In addition to the List Lookback that I announced in NPO #28, here's what I have definitively scheduled--pending any unforeseen circumstances (like deaths, compromised transportation, financial complications, etc.)--for the year so far (updates pending in future Time Drops as I make more decisions):
  • Weekly Regulars:
    • GFT Retrospective / Zenescope - Omnibusted
    • DB What Ifs / Anime Spotlight / One Piece Multi-Piece
    • TBT Anniversary
  • Thursday, September 4, 2025 (Jason David Frank's birthday) - Just the Ticket: Legend Of the White Dragon
  • Thursday, November 28 - Ticket Stubs: House Of Wax (comparative)
  • Thanksgiving - Just the Ticket: Thanksgiving
  • Christmas - Just the Ticket: Maniac Cop Trilogy
I would like to get Zenescope's blessing first, but I'm considering compiling my GFT Retrospective reviews so far into an e-book form. Let me know what you think about this idea down below.

Ticketmaster,
Out.

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the series. But because I wou

Dragon Blog Daima #23: Chatty

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Animeister My plan to record footage of me playing the new Vampire Survivors ' Ode to Castlevania DLC didn't pan out the way I wanted (because the update is massive -  or as MasakoX once pronounced it, which feels like a more appropriate expression, "ma- hoo -sive" - and I don't have the time, desire, or phone memory to devote to entire days of recording). But I'm still enjoying the experience of unlocking the new characters (there's a guy with a grenade launcher! A whip that explodes!), discovering the new quality of life changes (there's a map zoom now!), and exploring the environment (Dracula's castle! Hidden forest clearings! Giant bosses! Metroid vania -style progression unlocks! Platforming in a horde survival roguelike‽). And I don't think I'm even halfway done yet! So if you love playing Castlevania (or watching people on the internet play Castlevania ), give Vampire Survivors and the Ode t
